This isn't Usenet, nor BBS (I'm older than you), it's a modern forum that supports bbcode/bold. Learn to use it.
Hovis method has never been used before in a mass-produced product. Stop lying. Thank you for proving your ignorance, though.
PS4 has not been hacked yet, otherwise piracy would be rampant already.
Console APUs support hUMA (you didn't even bother to google it), so there are no memory addressing restrictions.
Now move along, because this subject (console mining) isn't for you. You're not even a console owner to begin with, otherwise you wouldn't be so ignorant in the first place. Do your homework and then we can talk.
I doubt you are older than I am.
Hint - I'm pretty close to Philma1957's age (1957 is his birthyear).
I was also a FidoNet sysop for about a decade, and a stand-alone BBS sysop for years before that.
Ever work on a Bendix G15? I have - though it was rather outdated by the time I got to work on it.
If you can put LINUX on a PS4 (available since at least 2016 as WIDELY REPORTED and go look at that link I posted for ONE SOURCE), then it is hackable and in fact HAS been hacked.
Hovis method HAS in fact been used in mass-produced products - just not with as high of a volume as the APU in the XBox One X.
Marketing shills CAN AND DO LIE to make their product seem "more special", and this is such a case.
There is no "third option" at this time AFAIK using the XBox One or XBox One X, as there is no mining app written for it nor can you run a different OS that DOES support mining software.
There IS a "third option" with the PS4, but the iGPU in the APU version in those is a lot lower performance even in THEORY vs the one in the XBox One X.
